Software engineer, 20+ years building products. Vibe-coding my way out of the corporate 9-5. Shipping, investing, documenting the journey.

New look. New name. Same mission.

Really happy with how it turned out. 🔥

@XtremeMotivated I agree. Coffee and stubbornness during the day, and being able to sleep well at night.

The “fake it till you make it” energy on 𝕏 is wild.

Accounts buying followers and traffic to post bangers daily.
People claiming others paid stupid money just to get featured on some site.
Products going viral because a shadow network of influencers pushed them.

Some days I think I’m too honest to get rich.

So… what’s your price?

@robuildsthings Sometimes they cannot even wait to the DM

How not to connect on 𝕏:

Second-worst first move: “Let’s connect”

Absolute worst: “Let’s connect” + product spam

@alicjadrat it should be pretty obvious 😅

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@TheNetVault LOL 😂

@DanielGPT2022 At the end they just want to show their product.

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@firstladyships Exactly. Is not so difficult!

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@markfenner I know... I'm doing some cleaning of those who steal or do non legit things, as I said yesterday.

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@FaizalSukaimi Exactly, well said.

@_adityaa21 The tech job market is terrible rn. Wish you the best to your friend.

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@_adityaa21 Not a bad idea!

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@Shay_Slay_ Because they don't look AI generated.

@aditiitwt Absolutely cinema... Seems fake to me, right?

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@aditiitwt Sorry, what do you want to try?

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@markfenner The more I discover about some accounts on X... the more I lose hope in humanity. It's wild!

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@SahilPanhotra usually those are paid and shady

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@doja_dan I think you're right. It doesn't make any sense. I just posted about this.

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

A guy paid $15,000 to list his product on a new leaderboard site. The product's page doesn't even load. You cannot make this up. 🤦‍♂️

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

@_LamNam_ That's the way, mate! Thanks again💪

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

I don’t care if you have 50 or 100K followers on 𝕏.

If you steal content
or keep recycling the same copied posts just to game the algorithm…

I’m unfollowing you.

It’s tiring.
And it’s the right thing to do.

[Leo builds | Leaving Tech @LeoBuilds_]

Thank you.

My long term goal is what my banner said: basically being able to build different sources of incomes to exit the corporate rat race.

Basically by building and audience, then I'll be some products, while I keep saving and investing. It might take me a while, but it's okay.

@SahilPanhotra for real, man!
